Westport Farmers’ Market Heads Indoors Saturday Nov. 14th

As the temperatures start to dip and winter approaches, we must bid a fond farewell to what has been a phenomenally successful summer season. While we continue our Ten Year Anniversary we celebrate the fifth year of our winter market.  We are thrilled to announce the start of the Winter Westport Farmers’ Market which will officially begin on Saturday, November 14 at 10:00am. The market will return for our fifth season at Gilbertie’s Herb Garden on Sylvan Lane in Westport. We will operate Saturday, November 14 – March 12 from 10:00 – 2:00.

This is a great opportunity to bring the entire family as you shop from your favorite vendors. Sip on a warm cup of coffee or tea and let the little ones snack on a pizza, tortilla soup and a sweet treat as you shop for your artisanal breads and cheeses, meats, baked goods, seasonal vegetables as well as a variety of salad greens that have been grown hydroponically.  Enjoy our weekly lecture, cooking competition and demonstration series throughout the entire winter season. *(Please see below for a list of events.)

A Farmers’ Market in the wintertime? Yes, the Westport Winter Farmers’ Market will offer everything to meet your winter dining needs.  Did we mention it is inside a heated greenhouse?
